"Mr President, the common fisheries policy has meant 40 years of unsustainable fishing and it has been a disaster for our coastal communities. It has favoured the large fishing barons who, in pursuit of profit, have used unsustainable methods that have brought our fish stocks to the point of collapse.
I support the opposition in this report to the Commission’s proposals for individual transferable quotas, which would have amounted to a
privatisation of the seas. Small and medium-sized fishermen in coastal communities are in real danger of losing their jobs and way of life. The Commission’s own projections show employment in the sector is set to decline by 60% over the next 10 years, with the heaviest losses falling on those small and medium-sized fishermen.
Small fishermen, workers in the industry and coastal communities must be put at the heart of the management of the fishing industry. With planning and democratic management of quotas, they could be assured of a fair income and sustainable use of this vital resource."@en1
